I seem to remember there being markings like this by the school on the right-hand side of the road when going up Soi 88, just past the French butcher’s shop. They were replaced with speed humps, such as they were, when the new drainage was put in and the road resurfaced this past year or so.

Having decided not to go down the route of a spiced Christmas beer I’ve scratched the itch of a fruit brew and just made a Cherry Dubbel wort that’s now in the primary fermenter. It’s for an event in June so not something I intend to drink much of myself but I’m toying with an almond, vanilla or oak...

If you don’t want to parboil, you can dry the potatoes with some kitchen towel. I made potato wedges this evening - with Maris Piper, of course - and after drying them gave them a thin but all-over coating of olive oil. 30 minutes at 180°C with some fresh rosemary to give a classic al forno recipe. ...

^^ You’re asking for information around price, which can vary, and reasonable delivery time, which is even more variable! I could be being ripped-off at 500 baht for 6,000l and the delivery time never seems to be as soon as I’d like. I know this isn’t very helpful but you will have to try some thing...

MDMK, you’ve taken my point about vapers and added-in the concept of tolerance and then taken degrees of tolerance to entirely new levels. You are advocating that we need to be tolerant “to a degree”, which is a problem when taken with your other point that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”, ...

Mrs J.J.B., who has never smoked, commented the other day that she would rather follow someone in the street smoking a cigarette and get second-hand smoke than someone ‘vaping’ and get second-hand vapour. I tend to agree. These billowing clouds of sickly-scented vapour can make you feel quite ill an...

The easiest solution would be to use rice; dried, of course! I first came across it being used in this way in the Caribbean, in a salt cellar to kept the salt from clumping together in the high humidity. It’s also used to dry out phones and suchlike that have been immersed in water. You half fill a ...

Questions: Am I mad? First, welcome to the Forum and I wish you every happiness in Thailand, whatever you choose to do. I don’t think you are mad and only recommend you put money in Thailand you are comfortable walking away from. I’m sure Saranya is lovely and trusting etc. but by all accounts some...

There is no group more anti-smoking than the ex-smokers. Probably because there is no such thing as an ex-smoker, only a smoker who doesn’t smoke. Tobacco smoking is far more complex than physiological addiction to nicotine, there is a powerful psychological component as well that is linked with the...

Our Discovery has an AdBlue tank but I’ve no idea where you get the stuff from. According to the manual, it needs topping-up at such lengthy intervals that it is done at service time so perhaps I can safely ignore it. The following is a discussion on the Australian LRO website, J.J.B.: https://www....

If you see a PCX with a Givi box on the back with plenty of LEDs, it’s probably me. Or someone’s stolen my ride. :thumb: So was it you riding slowly down Soi 94 just after El Toro Loco just before lunchtime today? I was trying to determine if the lights on the Givi were indicating right or left as ...

Our Discovery has an AdBlue tank but I’ve no idea where you get the stuff from. According to the manual, it needs topping-up at such lengthy intervals that it is done at service time so perhaps I can safely ignore it. I don’t like driving short journeys in diesel or petrol cars. Without getting the ...
